TSN new look - Bomber banner issue


PolarBear

Recommended Posts

I have to say I can never remember the production being this bad.

At halftime of the first game they flashed an 11-9 Calgary score. It was 14-12...

Then for a while during this game it showed as 3-0 Ottawa when it was 3-0 Edmonton.

Can't remember there ever being so many outright screw ups simply displaying the current score of a game.

Serious question, with the year off did they turnover a lot of TV staff?

No it's not. 

lol my god people here enjoy arguing. Delivery is the voice. Its the sound that comes out of your mouth. What is it? how you stand? I know people like you and can imagine you are going to say its how you present yourself. But thats not delivery. That is technique and presentation. How you deliver a speech is not the same as how you deliver doing play by play cause there is no eye to eye contact. Now you have been educated

The guy that is doing the elks redblacks game has an amateur voice. Its riddles. he should be a sideline reporter. Its not bothering me but its sad we don't have any great broadcasters in canada anymore outside Cuthbert. After Bob Cole retired even HNIC is awful

That never happened. And if it did it would be for few seconds. Ever watch a basketball game? same issue. The score bug is hooked up to the automatic in house electronic board for both time and score. 

We saw it tonight when Ottawa got a TD then it got called back they added another 6 to it. So because of that for like 30 seconds if you went on the TSN app or even CFL.ca it would have shown 15-3. They have

to edit the bug and remove the entry and add 3 again.

The voice is the physical characteristics of the voice. Delivery is what you do with it. 

 

I said way back you were confusing the issue, thank you for proving it. 

that is for when you do a speech. we are talking play by play.

As do you apparently. 

For those scoring at home, in 12 hours we have learned from his own posts on various topics that Polar Bear:

1. Knows how to hack into live feeds of American networks to get free streaming of sports programming

2. Is a 20 year vet of Ebola and SARS research in a virology lab

3. Is connected to many major US broadcasters and therefore has insider rankings of most of not all sports play by play guys and their reputations within the industry 

4. Has relatives at HNIC and therefore has access to management hiring memos

5. Spent time in New York in a top secret COVID lab under government control operating under a cone of silence unable to share his findings with the public

6.  Is ostensibly a computer graphics specialist who knows how to debug in game productions

7. Has a trusted working relationship with a number of the Blue Bomber players and has the inside track on the injury situation with the club

and because of his concern about the amount of arguing on a fan site, I can only assume -

8. Is an ebony pot having a conversation with a kettle

I own every kind of classic car. I even have doubles, that way I have a pristine one in storage so that if I scratch the one I'm driving it's no big deal. Because I'm rich. And I have triples of the roadrunner and the barracuda. Triples is best. My wife is on posters and she asked ME to marry HER

I might believe that during a normal season but I can't see 20 Bombers hanging out together while there are strict return to play requirements in place.

I am extremely knowledgeable about sports and broadcasting. Clearly...  As I gave examples earlier I know all the best were hired due to their voice. Remember Dave Hodge? He was removed from HNIC play by play to host cause of his voice. CBC sports president made the decision that his voice wasn't fitting for HNIC for the nation with what they had in the cbc department. 

 

Not surprisingly, you're just making stuff up.  Hodge was fired for criticizing the CBC during a broadcast because they went to news instead of finishing broadcasts of in-progress games.

https://www.cbc.ca/archives/why-dave-hodge-was-cut-from-the-hockey-night-in-canada-team-1.5491241

I am knowledgeable enough to remember it like yesterday.

Black comes across as someone who is too self-important to care about the game playing out before him.  That's kind of fatal for a play by play guy.  I would hazard a guess that he actually does pbp for half the plays and rambles (or let's Suitor talk over him) for the rest.  He is brutal.  My cousin went to Cre-Com with him and he was full of himself then.  Seems to me that he still thinks he's more important than the game.  He fails the ear test in every conceivable way.  Try listening (if you can handle it) and not watching a quarter of football during his broadcast.  You would have no idea what is happening.

Suitor needs to shut the hell up when a live play is happening.   He was also talking over Rod Smith a lot too.  The Producer & Director really need to can Black and have a serious discussion with Suitor about respecting the live game.

And yes, I have done some time in radio and TV production before leaving for more predicatable paycheques and know a lot of people who are still in the business.

Grey Cup banner was a bit of a disappointment.  Really no ceremony and the banner itself is more like a sign. Not having an individual (11 banners) is not a good look. Having it hanging from the rafters is really the only choice and it could have been done like other NFL or MLB stadiums which they use a harder material so it doesn't blow all over and take a beating.

I am perfectly fine with complaining about how our Grey Cup banner looks. What a wonderful problem to have.

"I know a friend who knows a friend who knows another friend who told me." (Hey, we got ourselves a CFL Insider). Or,.. "Hey here comes your neighbour, Andrew. What should we tell him today? What a putz."
